Most of the individual contributors that I worked with were great people. There are a few that are awful. There are some good managers but not many. Great introduction into medical standards so you can go work elsewhere later.
Cons
Bullying, lack of accountability in leadership, zero interest in learning from past mistakes, just does whatever the competition does so they can be 5 years behind the competition. Sad place to work.

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
